It's been 10 years for some of us.
6 days is nothing.
Learn some patience, young grasshopper.

I see you haven't bouught a founders package. If you did, you could start playing on August 7th with a chance to get an early invite. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for open beta which is a ways off.

There will be chances to get into CBT from now to release, but someone said you would probably have a better chance at winning the Lotto lol

if you become one of the founders, you have a better chance to get into CBT But you are guaranteed to get into the CBT Stage 2 at Aug 7th as a Founder, this is the Head Start for the founders, we also get the Founder Perks and bonuses, also there will be no Wipes of the Database after Aug 7th


Also might be a good idea to Read up on the NDA stuff, since you will be under the NDA in CBT and if you mention anything about being in the CBT you will get banned... if your lucky to get picked in the first place....

And on top of it all, CBT is for Testing, finding Bugs ect not really for just Playing the Game.....

Not everyone gets to play just for showing up. You have to be *SELECTED BY THE DEVS* to play in the closed beta. The odds are that you will stay Pending forever, and that you will *NEVER* get into the closed beta. You have a better shot of winning a scratch off ticket.


Let me throw some numbers at you:

Total forum users: 162,000
Total Beta Keys given out: ~10000

That is about 6%
The vast vast vast majority of us will *NEVER* get into the the closed beta. And as some users have already said: Six days is NOTHING. Many people have been here since the forums went live back in October of 2011 (eight months ago).

If you buy a founders pack, however, you get access to the open beta on 08/07/12. For some, it's worth the $60


EDIT: edited to include numbers gathered from latest forum stats (although first guess not far off).

This is sooooo incorrect. 10500 keys were given out, as for forum population er......... there's a thread on that

I started off with MW 1 like early 90s or so, had a few other BT or MW games... I think one was Crescent Hawks or a lot like it?

Also saw one or 2 episodes of the Cartoon version of BT/MW but was on TV and didnt last long or wasnt on when I could watch it
